An 18-year old in Taiwan passed away after playing Diablo III for 40 hours straight with no food or rest (just like the title says!). That is just too long. You should take a break at LEAST every 20 hours. You don't jump off the high-dive right after pounding a hotdog, do you? Because I have. I cramped up and sunk like a rock and then a boy lifeguard had to kiss me on the mouth!

The Taiwanese teen booked himself into a private room in an internet cafe at lunchtime on Friday, according to reports.

He was left to play until Sunday morning, when a member of staff came to check on him and found him resting on the table.

Chuang then woke up, took a few steps and collapsed.

He was rushed to hospital, but died shortly after his arrival.

Obviously, this is sad news. But gaming, like burying your face in a women's breasts and pretending you're a kid again, is an addiction. Except gaming can actually kill you. Motorboating will like, only make you pass out at the very worst. Rest in peace, bro.

Thanks to Victor and Tamara, who love sleep waaaaaay too much to die playing video games. SAME.

I'm pretty sure there's more to his death than just 40 hours without no food or rest. That just doesn't kill the average human, I'm sorry.

Actually it can! When you sit for a very long time your legs can pool with blood. Once he got up (I'm sure he was numb in his legs) blood flow can resume normally. Blood clots can form in your legs from sitting too long. Once that blood clot is freed, it can go to your brain and kill you!

Asians falling to video games..Caucasians falling to obesity...

I dunno about you but I somehow I find this humorous how human nature makes us binge on one thing and brings us to our knees.

or how about the people that sold their children in order to keep playing games at the cafe?? Asians....

I've got sucked into games before but I always remember to eat! Seems a bit weird though, even if he didn't eat/sleep that's no reason to go and die!

If you're gonna die from playing a game, at least make it one that's not as overrated and hugely disappointing as Diablo III. Screw Blizzard for their customer-hating ways (especially since Activision took over).
